Federal Reserve System? This is a question I went
over in my head while making a decision on the

are responsible for establishing a perfect
cognitive fit between the scheme and the

situation.He goes on to give an example of the two
processes: An infant who`s just discovered he can

different belief inherits or steps into power,
their whole country is officially under their
religion. (Modern World History, Unit 2) The most
